To Sea Again Poem by Cornelius Douglas

  .      

I went to sea again today
It was as though the first
A thousand times would never rest
My spirit's endless thirst

To go and see God move great pools
By a lifting of his hand
To float upon a bottle top
So far a way from land

To watch the storm's perform and feel their savage graceful dance
That then recede to stoic
calm
In none more than a glance

This place where peace and answers seem forever to unfold
Let by me never come the day I'll say that I'm too old

I went to sea again today
And pray I always can
Have endless times to live these things
Just dreamed...by land bound man
